“You could easily go to a preacher, a pastor or a rabbi but I don’t like that because you don’t really know them. You have a stranger in charge of the most important day of your life,” Lance explained to People. “We loved the idea of using someone who knows us.”

Lance and Michael met nearly four years ago while attending a friend’s birthday party in Southern California.

The grooms wrote their own vows, with Lance gushing over his new husband.

“Michael gets my crazy life and he fits perfectly into it,” he said. “We’re best friends.”

“There’s no one in the world that makes me laugh more than Lance,” Michael added. “He’s just such an incredible person. I couldn’t imagine waking up next to anybody else.” Copyright: Cover Media 2014
